"Collector's 23-Year Quest Ends with $90,100 Purchase of Rare Castlevania Copy, Holds Sentimental Value"

After a 23-year search, a collector named minus_worlds finally acquired a rare sealed 1987 Castlevania for NES in an eBay auction for $90,100, with 130 bids. The game holds sentimental value as it was the first one his mother bought him. Another bidder, Frank Giaramita, graciously accepted defeat, predicting a potential future resale value of $250,000. This sale follows other recent high-priced retro game auctions, indicating a lucrative market for vintage video games.
